Department of Computer Science

Computer science occupations are the fastest growing among all engineering and technology disciplines.

• BSc in Computer Science

The BSc in Computer Science (CS) is a four year programme with a major in computer science and a minor in information systems. A minimum number of 240 credit points must be earned in 25 core courses, seven elective courses, six language and cultural skills courses, an internship, and a bachelor thesis. The programme offers a strong foundation in theoretical and practical computer science and its applications in business. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of informatics and engineering, communication and technology, and culture including a solid understanding of the business context. Furthermore, we expect from our graduates to be fluent in English and to have a basic knowledge of German.

• BSc in Cyber Security

The BSc in Cyber Security (CYS) is a four year programme. A minimum number of 240 credit points must be earned in 25 core courses, seven elective courses, six language and cultural skills courses, an internship, and a bachelor thesis. The programme offers a strong foundation in theoretical and practical computer science and its applications in business. Emphasis is placed on cyber security topics which cover 8 knowledge areas: data, software, component, connection, human, organisation, and societal. In addition to basic security concepts, students will be exposed to focused courses which cover the basics of each knowledge area. Furthermore, we expect from our graduates to be fluent in English and to have a basic knowledge of German.
